#2341 - Dan Anderson March 6, 1998 Page 2 Private road horizontal curve radius variance from 275' to 125' requested, based on protection of drainfield sites, especially in Lot 1 Existing residence on Lot 1 will remain, meets all setback requirements but needs a new septic system Lots 1 and 2 technically are 'through' lots, any future accessor>’ structures need CUP Lots 4,5 and 6 are the only riparian lots, and have buildable envelopes very restricted by septic sites, lake setbacks and bluff impact zone setbacks. Staff is recommending that these three lots be exempt from average lakeshore setback requirements which would have little or no positive protective impacts given the size, orientation, and restrictions inherent in these lots. Grading is proposed in Lot 6 to create a walkout building pad about 150’ from lake Neighborhood comments at Public Hearing resulted in PC recommendation to require a 1 5' trail easement along east property boundary abutting Old Crystal Bay Road, to leave this as a potential trail corridor option even though it could negatively impact septic sites and require significant retaining walls Planning Commission recommended that a Tree, Woodland and Vegetation Preservation Easement be required to protect the unique wooded shoreline. Applicant has conceptually agreeed to grant such an casement. Such an casement has been drafted by staff for Council and applicant review and comment (Exhibit D) Hennepin County has requested additional 7' of right-of-way for Old Crystal Bay Road. The official Hennepin County Bike Trail Plan docs not show a trail here, and the Orono Comp Plan only calls out the need for the existing 66' of R.O.W. Staff recommends no added R.O.W. be required. No stormwater ponding has been proposed. This is the single critical shortcoming of the current proposal, in staffs opinion.
